It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Holloway and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. A job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Berkshire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They will take care of any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
